Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. A pesar de que los océanos cubren más del 70% de la superficie de la Tierra, los fondos marinos siguen siendo uno de los entornos más inexplorados y desconocidos del planeta. En las últimas décadas, los avances científicos y tecnológicos han permitido tener un conocimiento más amplio y detallado de estos paisajes submarinos. Caracterizados por su gran diversidad, que abarca desde grandes llanuras abisales hasta imponentes montañas submarinas, los fondos marinos albergan también ecosistemas únicos, capaces de adaptarse a condiciones extremas. Gracias a tecnologías innovadoras como la sonda multihaz, los métodos sísmicos, de observación remota o los vehículos submarinos autónomos, los investigadores han podido cartografiar y estudiar la morfología marina con un nivel de detalle sin precedentes. Estos avances han permitido acceder a zonas hasta ahora inalcanzables, revelando la historia geológica del planeta y proporcionando indicios sobre las fuerzas (geológicas, oceanográficas, biogénicas y antropogénicas) que modelan el fondo marino. Una investigación que también nos permite comprender su papel en la evolución futura del planeta y en el equilibrio de los ecosistemas. A través de imágenes sorprendentes, este libro amplía nuestros horizontes y nos acerca al vasto y enigmático mundo de las profundidades oceánicas y de la geomorfología submarina. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is a comprehensive collection of state-of-the-art studies of seafloor slope instability and their societal implications. The volume captures the most recent and exciting scientific progress made in this research field.As the world's climate and energy needs change, the conditions under which slope instability occurs and needs to be considered, are also changing. The science and engineering of submarine - or more widely subaqueous - mass movements is greatly benefiting from advances in seafloor and sub-seafloor surveying technologies. Ultra-high-resolution seafloor mapping and 3D seismic reflection cubes are becoming commonly available datasets that are dramatically increasing our knowledge of the mechanisms and controls of subaqueous slope failure. Monitoring of slope deformation, repeat surveying and deep drilling, on the other hand, are emerging as important new techniques for understanding the temporal scales of slope instability. In essence, rapid advances in technology are being readily incorporated into scientific research and as a result, our understanding of submarine mass movements is increasing at a very fast rate. The volume also marks the beginning of the third IGCP project for the submarine mass movement research community, IGCP-640 S4SLIDE (Significance of Modern and Ancient Submarine Slope LandSLIDEs). The Submarine Mass Movements and Their Consequences symposium is the biannual meeting under the IGCP umbrella.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book on the current state of knowledge of submarine geomorphology aims to achieve the goalsof the Submarine Geomorphology working group, set up in 2013, byestablishing submarine geomorphology as a field of research, disseminating its concepts and techniques among earth scientists and professionals, and encouraging students to develop their skills and knowledge in this field.Editors have invited 30 experts from around the world to contribute chapters to this book, which is divided into 4 sections - (i) Introduction & history, (ii) Data & methods, (ii) Submarine landforms & processes and (iv) Conclusions & future directions. Each chapter provides a review of a topic, establishes the state-of-the-art, identifies the key research questions that need to be addressed, and delineates a strategy on how to achieve this.Submarine geomorphology is a priority for many research institutions, government authorities and industries globally.The book is useful for undergraduate and graduate students, and professionals with limited training in this field. …
